#2 Daniele De Rossi
De Rossi is into his 18th season for AS Roma and remains an epitome of loyalty and longevity in modern football. Along with his legendary ex-teammate Francesco Totti, De Rossi helped Roma become one of the best clubs in Italy in the last decade and a half.
De Rossi could not win the Serie A title in spite of going close a few times but managed to win the Coppa Italia twice for his beloved club. He has also regularly appeared in the Champions League for Roma.
De Rossi is primarily a defensive footballer, who can also play box-to-box. He is known for his hard tackles and good passing range. He has played with different generations of footballers starting from Gabriel Batistuta to Radja Naingollan and still continues to make appearances for Roma.
All in all, he has played 603 matches for Roma and scored 61 goals. He remains an inspiration to many young players.
